fish cakes

some friends of ours gave us a whole bunch of pollock and i've been looking for ways to use it.  the whole family liked this one.

ingredients

• 1 lb of cod fillets (or other mild, white-fleshed fish)
• 2 medium-sized russett potatoes
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• Grapeseed oil, or other high smoke point oil such as canola oil, for frying--i just sprayed them with cooking spray and fried them on my electric skillet

directions

Boil and mash the potatoes, set them aside.

Boil the codfish until it flakes easkly. Drain and flake the fish with a fork. Be sure to remove all bones.

Mix the flaked fish, the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients together well by hand. If the mixture is too crumbly, add another egg. If too sticky, add some more bread crumbs.

Form the mixture into cakes and fry them on medium high heat in a skillet coated with oil, until nice browned on one side, then flip them over and continue to cook until well browned on the other side.
